Re: Can't import a CD to iTunes

2016-10-17 Thread Bill Spencer 
Well, I got it to work by (I guess) tricking the system somehow. I told 
iTunes to import it, at the same time as telling Audacity to open one of 
the tracks on the disc. So there we are. Bill

I’ve run across a couple audio CDs that just won’t read properly from a CD-R/RW 
drive. At the time I had a weird portable CD player that had a USB port to 
allow you to use it as a CD-ROM drive and it worked.

Do the CD’s play in a normal CD player? Maybe it’s a damaged disk.

Can't import a CD to iTunes

2016-10-14 Thread Bill Spencer 
Hi there: Every once in a while my little Samsung CD drive won't be able to 
read a disc for import into iTunes. When it does happen (not very often), 
if I unplug its USB connector from the Mini and then reinsert it, all's 
well, but now I've got a disc where even that doesn't work. Any ideas on 
why, or on how to resolve this? As always, my thanks in advance!
